OCALA, Fla. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – Newly obtained documents from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office reveal how deputies tracked down and arrested Ronald Exantus — the man found guilty but mentally ill in the 2015 killing of six-year-old Logan Tipton in Versailles — after he allegedly failed to register as a convicted felon in Florida.

According to an arrest affidavit filed by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, authorities began investigating Exantus on October 9, 2025, after learning that he had received a Florida driver’s license listing an address in Ocala on October 3. Detectives determined that Exantus was on supervised parole, which began just days earlier on October 6, with a supervision term scheduled through November 2035.
